Side exterior view of the Victorian-style Point Fermin Lighthouse, located at 807 W. Paseo Del Mar in San Pedro on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Photograph dated July 26, 1939. Point Fermin Lighthouse is California's only surviving 19th century lighthouse. The structure stands 30 feet tall and was built in 1874 at Point Fermin to guide mariners. The Lighthouse has a brick foundation and a wood frame, which was built with lumber from the California Redwoods. In 1941 the light was extinguished and the lantern room and gallery were removed and replaced by a lookout shack that remained for the next 30 years. Point Fermin Lighthouse was saved from demolition in 1972 and the light was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It was refurbished in 1974, and a new lantern room and gallery were added.
